This apartment is really well thought out and includes a huge balcony that is welcome in the warmer weather. The apartment is located over the river from the city centre, so you are away from the tourist hordes and in what feels more like a genuine community. Lou has left comprehensive tips on the apartment and what is on offer in the surrounds. His restaurant tips were rigorously tested and found to be all good experiences (but widely ranging from basic eating to more sophisticated). An excellent place to stay.

This beautiful apartment provided us with perfect accommodation in a great location.

Everything was catered for in the apartment. We cooked several meals using the pasta provided by Lou and ragu we bought from the deli 1 minute away. The standard of the kitchen and bathroom was modern and excellent. The terrace was an additional bonus and great for chilling out and enjoying the sun. Plus you get a great view of the neighbouring church.

There are plenty of excellent restaurants near by. Trattoria Pandemonio was our favourite. Great food and incredibly friendly staff. We even got a hug from the owner on the way out. There's an icecream place further on down the road from the restaurant where we got pudding. Yum!

We were able to walk into the main centre of the city in about 15 minutes. We enjoyed this walk because you can peek in shops and get a sense of the city. Also, being slightly out of the tourist centre was ideal. I felt the location of the apartment was more real compared with the touristy centre. Don't get me wrong, the centre is fascinating and beautiful, but being able to retreat was perfect.

I'm certain we'll be returning to Florence, and if we do, we'll be staying here again!

Thanks fora great holiday Lou!

A very cleverly designed studio apartment with a wonderful deck featuring a view of the nearby church dome in a quiet and fascinating area of Florence. Most places for rent in Florence have very little, if any, outside space which can be claustrophobic for an Australian like me who loves to eat and drink al fresco. This is the exception!

Me and my girlfriend stayed in this apartment for 3 nights in July. Lou was very accommodation in terms of when we wanted to arrive and welcomed us to the apartment. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you could need and even came with a bottle of bubbly and basic food to get you started. The outside area is a lovely sun trap and great for eating or relaxing on an evening. Overall we had a brilliant stay and would definitely return here if we went to Florence again.

The apartment is very comfortable and well-located. Everything you need is nearby: supermarket, bakery, restaurants. Lou is a very nice and helpful host! He took us from the station and showed us everything. We will surely stay here again at our next visit in Florence!

We had a lovely time in Florence with a wonderful host in Lou. He collected us from that station and the little extra details in the apartment made us so comfortable. We would recommend this apartment to everyone. Thank you, Lou.
